This chapter is about verifying your installation by performing a simple test to see that your system is properly installed.
Start Erlang/OTP by double-clicking on the Erlang shortcut icon on the desktop.
Expect a command line window to pop up with an output looking something like this:
Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] Eshell V6.0 (abort with ^G) 1>
Exit by entering the command
2> halt().
which should close the command line window and stop Erlang/OTP.
